Your air supply can be dirty/wet/oily, if a line ruptures/leaks/exausts inside an enclosure with electrical components you can have a bunch of troubles. I also vent my pneumatic enclosures in case of rupture, there is no pressure build up, not always allowed to vent electrical enclosures. So as a professional machine builder for a client, I wouldn't. But in your case, you can go for it if you want. Just make sure to plumb the exhaust ports on your solenoid valves to outside the enclosure. | |
